I have always fed smoke exhaust fans with MI cable. In Boston, the FD explicitly requires it, Article 700 has an informational note indicating that it may be considered part of the Emergency system and in general, I wouldn't want to have to explain why I didn't consider it worthy of such treatment.
BUT, does the IBC (we go by 2009 here in Boston and will in a years time be going by 2015) explicitly require 2 hour feeders? And/or explicitly label smoke exhaust fans as being Emergency, a label that would trigger the requirements of Article 700?
